It happened under his watch

One boy.

One girl.

One 7.

One 8.

All of this has happened under his watch, under his leadership, under his policies.

And he has said nothing, until Saturday. Only instead of expressing sympathy for the deaths of the children and sending condolences to their suffering families he chose to try — foolishly — to blame Democrats.

Instead of showing sympathy ...

He chose scorn and derision over empathy.

The president tweeted:

Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally. They can’t. If we had a Wall, they wouldn’t even try! The two.....

I work for Department of Homeland Security. I have 4 kids to take care of & Christmas is today. I’m not sure when’s the next time I’m getting paid. I have bills to pay but on top of that I still have to report for work with NO pay. #ShutdownStories#TrumpResign

Every child matters. Whether they traveled 2,000 miles to get here or they were born here. People should matter. Government workers should matter. Arizona workers should matter. Their families should matter.

More than winning. More than a wall.

But if children don’t matter to the president why should anyone else … besides himself?
